 I think the biggest culture shock that I had brought back to my family's homeland my dad's family's from a very small village in Palestine and you know everybody lives in the same house all together with mom, dad, their sons, their dad all their daughters move out typically but everybody's in this five or six story building and everybody's sharing this one house and I happened to be in a house where 20 of us were sharing the home and we had one bathroom and I remember going to take a shower and I was like seven or eight in line and there was essentially no more water left by the time it was my turn to take a shower and somebody had to go to the well and bring the water back to the house and heat it and then it had to run through the pipes and then eventually came the shower and it was like spitting out water and it was just something that I didn't realize wasn't accessible the way it is here in America to everyone you know you want water, you turn on the faucet or you turn on the sink and you want to take a shower you take a shower at all hours of the night there's no going to a well to bring water back to your house and so I think that was my first real culture shock and my first real acknowledgement of my privilege of living here and things that I take for granted
